Valaste Waterfall

Valaste Waterfall is in Ontika village, Ida-Viru County, on a high limestone escarpment. A drop of more than thirty metres makes it Estonia's highest waterfall, and from the viewing platform you can watch both the water and the geological layers of the cliff. During the spring floods the flow is stronger; in winter cold winds from the sea can turn the water droplets into ice sculptures. The surroundings invite a stop to explore the clint coast, but take care near the escarpment and on wet stairs. The amount of water depends on the weather and is not the same on every visit.
